oh well, I tried, and even if I never thought it would be decent, it's Maleficent and Angelina Jolie and my mom was excited to see it too. it would have been stellar if this did end up being a masterpiece, unfortunately that's not the case. Live action Disney is just a hit-and-a-miss.  |
Disney's live action films are always panned by critics because Disney is always trying so hard to appeal to everyone. When it comes to live action remakes, focus on an audience and stick to that audience. It's not that difficult of a strategy. If your film is going to flop, or not be as profitable, at least it will flop being a well-reviewed film and not flop AND be critically-panned.
